What about DPM 2010 Rc

Anyone use 2010 RC in a production environment?
I've put it on a VM to look at it, and it would be nice to use it in
production.
My Number 1 Reason To Upgrade
>>> Can Disable Daily Tape Backups for Saturday and Sunday
What's your reason(s) for upgrading?
How is it working out for you?

Yes. 6 protection groups, 10 servers, 20 vms on a 6 node hyper-v cluster with
csv. Runs great. A few quirks here and there but overall great. A far cry
from our last backup solution. I basically set it and forget it. Check it
when I get in to the office in the morning.

Are you using tape?
if not how do you guard against DPM server failure?

I'm running DPM 2010 RC in production backing up two Exchange 2003 clusters
and a 2008 file share cluster, and the DPM SQL db. Using Dell ML600 tape lib
with 2 IBM Ultrium TD4 drives. 7 protection groups, Exchange sync every 2
hrs. I have used DPM 2007 since its release and 2010 RC is far superior. I
have not experienced any of the issues I had with DPM 2007 such as flooding
of alerts, tape lib issues, required consistency checks, etc.
I am also building 2010 RC in a lab for Exchange 2010 and will use 2 DPM
servers in 2 DCs (both will act as local primary and remote secondary which
was not possible with DPM 2007.

Have got 2 DPM 2010RC servers (connected to a AX4 60TB SAN and Scalar i2000
(with 4 LTO4 drive).. backing up over 80 servers.
Main reason moving to 2010RC was 2007 SP1 didnt like our setup for end user
recovery. Also being able to backup workgroup computers.
Would say 2010RC is very polished. More stable that 2007SP1 in my eyes!

DCM for DPM 2007 and DPM 2010Does anyone know if a DCM pack is available for DPM 2007 and DPM 2010?
If you are looking for System center configuration management pack
for DPM 2007 and DPM 2010 they are available for DPM health monitoring. If
you want DPM 2010 Management pack please mail me at
praveend-at-microsoft-dot-com. The closest answer to DCM pack for DPM would
be DPM's Best practice analyzer guidelines which can be downloadable from
DPM sites.

Backing up CCR Passive node with DPM (block level)?Hello Please check the link from the technet forums I posted.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-GB/exchangesvravailabilityandisasterrecovery/thread/fb88bed7-c024-4585-b58d-a8ef58176fc4
Suggested to check out the new threads instead. Basically there is an option
in DPM to always choose the passive node in a CCR cluster. I've heard there
is a problem though where a consistency check is required and it can transfer
up to 90% of the data.
Why is DPM doing a block level? Isnt it easier to just check the log files
and the database files instead? I'm not an exper...

DPM to DPM untrustedHi There,
I'm trying to find out if in DPM 2010 a DPM to DPM backup is supported
across untrusted domains? From my reading it appears to not be supported but
this is a pretty common/useful scenario for a number of companies.
If this is supported can the one DPM server backup multiple DPM servers from
multiple untrusted domains?
Thanks
One way to solve this is by establishing a two way trust between the DPM
machines domains. But protecting two different servers without trust between
the servers domains in not supported. We will consider this in future DPM

unable to back up using only tape (without disk) with secondary DPMI have setup a secondary DPM with only tape capabilities (no disk available).
When I tried to create a new protection group on the secondary DPM, I unchecked the short term option (disk) and only select the long term option (tape), the "Next" button will get greyed out.
Any ideas why is this happening? It happens to all except when I try to protect the Primary DPM or protect itself (secondary DPM).

DPM Consistency CheckI have a 735 GB volume I'm using DPM 2010 on. If I throw it a do a
consistency check......it been running for over 5 hours. I plan on
protecting a larger file server with millions of files and over 4 TB of data.
How long can I expect a consistency check to take? If a consistency check
takes days...what happens to my backups?
The time to complete a consistency check depends on the change rate for the
data, the available network bandwidth, and the time that has passed since
the previous successful synchronization job.

DPM 2010RC Adding Disks to DPM ManagerI have an 11TB Raid on my DPM server. It is GPT and formated NTFS. I can add
the drive to DPM via DPM Managment, however it tells me it has 0KB of free

It shouldn't be formatted, no drive letter either. You should see it in
diskmgmt.msc, but not in My Computer for example. Then add to DPM pool, DPM
will format it when it creates volumes for your different workloads or
protection groups.
Hope that helps, I seem to remember that some time ago.
